ABC will put love up for sale

ABC is teaming up with the producers of "Blind Date" for an unscripted series called "Love for Sale," scheduled for six episodes this summer.

While details are still to be worked out, other TV programmers are likening it to "Indecent Proposal," Variety.com reports.

The project was pitched to several networks before ABC locked up the rights. According to competing alternative executives who heard the pitch, "Love for Sale" will offer an established couple a substantial sum of cash if one of them agrees to spend several weeks with a member of the opposite sex.

Unlike "Indecent Proposal," there'd be no requirement that the relationship be consummated. It's also possible that other aspects of the show could change as ABC develops the project, still in its early stages.
